Replication codes for Abe, K & Anderson, C.M., "A dynamic model of endogenous fishing duration". 

1. Note

This study uses proprietary data from Kesennuma Distant Fishing Cooperative. 
We are unable to provide the data, but we provide the codes for the study to replicate. 

2. Files

The study consists of two parts: main estimation of the model and the simulation.
The main part esimates the fisher's dynamic decision model. The simulation part simulates two scenarios of fishind duration determination process to compare the outcomes of estimations at aggregated level. Simulation part should work without the main part. 

 - data_man.R: Code for data manipulations. This includes the variable generations and descriptive statistics.
 
 - daily_main.R: The main code for the estimation of the model.
 
 - daily_sim_data.R: Generation of simulated data. 
  - data_trip_sec*******.csv: Data generated from the code. 
 
 - daily_sim.R: Estimation of the simulated data and descriptions of the outcomes.
